A lot of the time we do not need the packaging that comes with figures and they take up a lot of room inside a box in order to ship it to us not to mention adding weight. This means that we are paying money to ship things that we are just going to throw in the bin once they reach us. There are savings to be had on shipping if you can get the seller to remove the packaging and ship the items loose. Obviously they should repack the items in a smaller box with sufficient packaging so as not to damage the item.

This will add up especially if you get a few items together. Besides this is a greener option as your seller will use less packing material.
